  • I have a 13 plus (9320). Everything works in any distro, except for the webcam. Dell provides drivers for it for ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, and only for the default kernels it comes with. You can also get it working on arch.

    Work is being done on these alder lake webcams, but there still is no support for them in the kernel at the moment.

    I run mine in ubuntu with a newer kernel. And use my phone with droidcam as a webcam as a work-a-round. The newer kernels run better for battery life etc. I still have the default kernel installed, so I can reboot and use that, when I really need the built in cam.






  • I was really excited to play. But unfortunately somehow this games makes me nauseous. Like some form of motion sickness. I play on xbox series x by the way.

    Especially when you’re low on health the blur makes it worse. As well as looking through the scope of a gun.

    Tried turning the motion blur and film grain of, but that doesn’t really help. Tried a few gameplay session. But everytime I play I get nauseous after a few minutes. Never had this in any other game. And I’ve been playing games all my life.

    So for now I stopped playing. Hopefully they’ll be making some changes in the future, that will alleviate this. But for now it’s a no go for me unfortunately.











  • Yes US is very different in that aspect. I live in the Netherlands. Most people here have an app from their bank, with which you basically can do all your banking with. For payments between people, you can simply create a payment request in your banking app, and send a link to it via text, whatsapp, whatever. When clicking the link it will open the receivers own banking app with which the transfer can be me. Just the bank accounts, and amounts are already preset. It’s very easy to use, works with every bank, and everybody just uses the app from their own bank with all it’s safety measures.

    Personally I hardly ever use cash anymore. Just tapping your phone to pay is so much more convenient. Also keeping track of where you spend your money is easier.

    Out here we used to have atm machines everywhere. Their number has declined greatly though. They are still around, you will usually have to check a map if you’re in place where you don’t know their locations. Cash usage has definitely declined a lot these last year.

    That being said, I think getting rid of cash completely is a bad idea. Cash certainly has it’s usage / advantages.

    It also seems to differ from country to country by the way. For example Germany, still uses cash a lot more than we do here.
